2.175 You Shall See Me and Know That I Am

In Matthew 5:13, Jesus calls us the salt of the earth, a bold reminder that our lives are meant to carry his flavor, his truth, and his love to the world. Join me each day to explore one verse of scripture and one thought, striving to stay full of savor and truly live as savory salt. Hello, my friends, it's great to have you with me.

Today let's be anxiously engaged in a good cause and bring to pass much righteousness. Today, a privilege for us and a promise from the Lord. I love that one.

Let's dive into it. We are reading this week Doctrine and Covenants section 67 through 70 as well as Alma chapters 16 through 19. And we're going to stay in Doctrine and Covenants a little bit.

There's an interesting piece in Doctrine and Covenants. The Lord drops this challenge on them which everyone fails, by the way. But then we get into this verse that I think is so interesting.

It's our privilege and then a promise from the Lord, and it's in verse 10. So Doctrine and Covenants, section 67, verse 10 is our verse for today. Let's see what it says.

And again, verily I say unto you that it is your privilege and a promise I give unto you that have been ordained unto this ministry, that inasmuch as you strip yourselves from jealousies and fears and humble yourselves before me, for ye are not sufficiently humble, the veil shall be rent, and you shall see me and know that I am, not with the carnal, neither natural mind, Humble yourselves before me, for ye are not sufficiently humble. Just when you think you humble enough is perhaps the time that you get a little bit more humble pie in life, I think. And so, so there's that aspect.

But then this is the piece that I love. The veil shall be rent and you shall see me and know that I am. And here's how we're gonna see and know that he is.

Not with the carnal. Now, I want to start with a little bit of a story about the spiritual mind. My friends, our living apostles and prophets have reminded us of the day that we are going to need to have the Spirit with us continually, constantly, in order to know truth from error.

And I think this is an opportunity for us to know Jesus Christ, to see Him with our. This is such a great verse. It's a reminder to me that we do have privileges and promises from the Lord as we take up his name upon us and go to serve in the ministry.

That's an empowering one, and I'm excited as I look in my own life about how I can strip myself from jealousies and fears and humble myself before the Lord so that the veil can truly be rent and I see the Lord and know that he is. You and I have that opportunity, and I hope that we both, all of us, seek it out actively and aggressively in our lives. That's all for today, my friends.

Lift up your hearts and rejoice. Cleave into the covenants you have made, and together we will be savory salt. God's Rajas.
